re: What ski runs are open in Pams

I found the green very Icy last week. The best red for me was the red. A little rocky at the top but about a foot of powder all the way down. Gotta be careful though as there a rocks under the snow and untill it has been bashed the pistes will remain unsafe for some.

They opened the red 13 today and that was ok although a few loose rocks on it. Greens are icy in the middle and the pistes don't seem to be groomed at night at all.
The main reds and blacks don't look good at all (although I think it has more to do with the forestry not removing the saplings rather than the lack of snow.

Took the new lift down to Stoikite today - a few people were skiing the new runs (although they were not open officially) - looked like plenty of snow - but you have to ...

Took the new lift down to Stoikite today - a few people were skiing the new runs (although they were not open officially) - looked like plenty of snow - but you have to stop in a couple of places and climb over the trees that are lying across the piste. I would be really wary of skiing them and would take them very slow - so much debris and stumps on there that could really catch you out and I suspect if you had an accident you would be on a sticky wicket with your insurance if the piste was not officially open.

My money (sadly) is on the red and black pistes remaining closed for the rest of the season.

I will be trying to claim for piste closure - my policy states if 80% of the resort is closed I can claim. Has anyone done this?

Went for a ride on the husky dog sleigh today - now that was fun!! Skating rink is diserted so kids are having that to themselves at the mo whilst I sit and drink beer and play on t'internet.

re: What ski runs are open in Pams

Pete - please read my post again - I took the chair lift down to Stoikite to look at the runs - I didn't ski any closed runs. I said that some people were skiing the red closed runs as I watched them from the lift. I had 3 kids with me aged 10, 7 and 4 so no, I wouldn't take them near a closed run. My post was warning people about how dangerous they were looking.

Apology accepted.
Hope you have better conditions for your trip and glad to hear you are going to get your Pamps 'fix' after all.

re: What ski runs are open in Pams

I can't believe the red and blacks might not open all season, that is shocking...I love Pamps but this might be the last season for me due to unreliable conditions.... Sad
